Alex mentioned that we could still use a non-removal Black/Red creature. I figured it would be interesting if Enlighten was bad... I also find it funny what happens when you target a player with draw spells when they play this.

Originally, I was going to say "these are the stats that feel natural to me. But we can sculpt the casting cost and p/t to what feels correct." But, you know, I chose this p/t vs. cc for a reason. I don't think this would feel right on a 4/3 for 3. I guess I designed a rare. Back to the drawing board.

Mm, 6/6 first-strike is a bit too big for uncommon. "Sacrifice at least one flying creature every turn" is a pretty meaty drawback. A lot meatier than your Demonic Taskmaster alternative.

Also, philosophers are supposedly 2/2 :)

Rares are rares. Updated, and made Capricious Turncoat to make up for it.
